En Route Fly Economy with Legroom of Business Class-3809

 

The majority of us cannot easily afford Business Class tickets for air trips. But that’s how the world turns, so those snazzy seats will have to wait until we all get rich (or accumulate enough miles from travelling everywhere).

But the urge to see the world is too strong, so flying Economy (or Coach as they say). Isn’t all that bad. And even if it doesn’t recline as far, it is still bearable with the invention of neck pillows and quite respectable airline food.

However, our lower extremeties are the ones that take a beating from long haul flights. Hips, legs, knees and ankles need to move and stretch about. It will feel like ice builds up on your joints if you don’t. And unless you are seated near the aisle, it is difficult and sometimes embarrassing to get out.

So what can you do to get that extra leg room without shelling too much?

Just look at this fine specimen of comfort for a small upgrade as compared to the one behind who can’t cross his legs together. This was on a 13 hour flight. And for those who get a kick out of it, you get to sit across the lovely men and women of the airline flight crew πŸ˜‰
